The latest announcement is out from Gunze ( (JP:3002) ).
Gunze Limited reported full-year results for the fiscal year ended March 2026 that fell short of its February forecast, with net sales slipping to ¥130.9 billion and profit attributable to owners of parent plunging to ¥509 million. Earnings also declined sharply versus the prior year, as operating and ordinary profit both dropped more than 20%, driving basic earnings per share down to ¥15.83.
The shortfall was driven mainly by its apparel business, where a strategic consolidation of brands and a reduction in SKUs led to strict reassessment of discontinued inventory and an additional inventory valuation loss of about ¥1.9 billion. Despite the profit deterioration and weaker-than-expected performance, the company is maintaining its previously announced year-end dividend of ¥216 per share for the period, signaling a commitment to shareholder returns while it restructures its product lineup.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3002) stock is a Hold with a Yen3500.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Gunze stock, see the JP:3002 Stock Forecast page.
